    Strongest gearbox??

    Hi Guys,

    I'm trying to find out what the strongest gearbox is out there, i have had a look about on the forum but no one seems to have come up with a definitive answer.....

    Also, what about prop/drive shafts???!!

    I will be building a high HP drag toy :-)

    Are we talking about Quattro gearboxes, or gearboxes in general?

    Define "high HP"
    Everything less than 2 bar is considered to be naturally aspirated

      It's not so much the power that can potentially wreck a gearbox, it's the torque

            VS motor has a gearbox for sale, strong enough for 700-900 hp.. custom ratio, dogbox.
            If in doubt, Flat out.

                And what if i should decide to go higher than that, my engine spec should be good for 900hp if i put a GT42R on it...

                  It is a big cost, but you only pay once

                    well apart from having to have the dog gears serviced, i would want more for 12.500 euro!

                      You need to start a project thread, this sounds interesting

                      See here for a similar question

                        Depends how deep your pockets are and how creative you can be?

                        I like the Dog Box from Vs motor if i had 14 ish thousend euro's spare i would have one or maybe i would get one of the ones a forum member from the Uk had made up i think iirc about £7500

                        But before spending that i would like to atleast try it or atleast go in a car with one fitted.

                        Repo will confirm what they used on Tommi's 1000hp audi

                            only downside to that iirc is ratio's.
